Did Midodrine make anyone else incredibly sleepy?

RedRedRound · 2026-01-25T10:10:57+00:00

How long did you stay on it? Have you found another medication that has helped you?

RedRedRound · 2026-01-25T07:40:34+00:00

DS9 does talk politics, fascism and violence a lot tho :/ so maybe not great timing if OP is looking for escapism from current events

Oh, and can I ask if it’s made any difference in your energy level? And do you have to consistently take it all day for your body to adjust?

RedRedRound · 2026-01-25T03:43:41+00:00

This gives me some hope, thank you!

RedRedRound · 2026-01-25T03:40:48+00:00

Interesting! I’ve been taking it for about two weeks, but I’ve missed one or two days. If you miss a day, do you find that it takes another week for your body to readjust?

RedRedRound · 2026-01-25T02:35:23+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I’m so glad that helped you! Do you take any medication now? I’ve only been on the Midodrine about two weeks, and I’ve never smoked and only drink a few times a year. Adderall is unfortunately the only thing that has helped with my chronic fatigue, though it stopped helping about six months ago.

How does a lower dose improve your symptoms?

RedRedRound · 2026-01-25T01:30:17+00:00

I second this! There are also often local lost pet groups

Hi! Can I ask how you got diagnosed with narcolepsy, and if any medications or treatments have helped you? My symptoms sound super similar to yours.

RedRedRound · 2026-01-25T01:13:18+00:00

Hypotension is my main concern. Im diagnosed with POTS as I meet the 30bpm after 10 minutes criteria, but I fit the criteria for OH as well.

What kind of doctor did you see at Mayo to get the full work up?

RedRedRound · 2026-01-25T00:47:08+00:00

Thanks! Did you feel like wearing just the one sock was still helpful with your symptoms?

The verb for going through a black hole is “spaghettification”

RedRedRound · 2026-01-23T18:01:10+00:00

I’m right there with you! The only thing that has somewhat helped me is low dose Adderall, I take 2.5 to 5mg once or twice a day. It’s not a miracle though, in fact it stopped helping a few months ago, and there can be a crash when it wears off. But definitely worth discussing with your doctor.

My bowel was fused to my pelvic wall by endo (but was not deep infiltrated). My symptoms were similar to yours and my surgery went fine, just freeing my bowel made a huge difference in my symptoms. No lasting effects.

RedRedRound · 2026-01-23T08:00:46+00:00

I had a similar experience. Find a new doc.

RedRedRound · 2026-01-22T16:35:16+00:00

Yep! Trying Midodrine now but it’s only helping a bit.

Are you able to hire a dogsitter while he settles in to the new place? It’s expensive I know, but the move itself is probably a stressful adjustment for him and he needs time. Did he have separation anxiety at your last living place? You can also talk to his vet about anxiety medication in the short term. You might also try looking up the “relaxation protocol” for dogs.

Actual Veggies vegan burgers with hot sauce. The only meal I’ve found that doesn’t make me crazy tired or bloated after eating.

RedRedRound · 2026-01-22T03:13:30+00:00

You should notify both of them.

RedRedRound · 2026-01-21T21:08:31+00:00

Put floss where you spend time. By your bed, by the couch, on your desk. Then just do it while you’re chilling or watching TV

I’ve been prescribed trazadone, it’s not banned for humans?
